The Grumps: Bobby Runs Away (Almost)
When Bobby isn't allowed to go ice skating late at night, his disappointment feels enormous.
While his friends laugh and glide across the rink outside his bedroom window, Bobby's bedtime feels unfair—and suddenly, running away seems like the perfect solution.
Or is it?
In The Grumps: Bobby Runs Away (Almost), the third book in The Grumps series, Bobby learns that big feelings can lead to big decisions—and that every decision comes with consequences. As Bobby sets off on his “great escape” (which doesn’t go very far), he begins to understand that independence isn’t about going it alone, but about making thoughtful choices—even when they’re difficult.
Through gentle humor, realistic sibling moments, and a calm, supportive family dynamic, this story explores decision-making, responsibility, and emotional growth in a way young readers can relate to. Bobby’s journey shows children that it’s okay to make mistakes, reflect on them, and choose a better path forward.
Written for children ages 4–9, parents, caregivers, and educators, The Grumps: Bobby Runs Away (Almost) supports meaningful conversations about choices, consequences, and growing up, making it an excellent addition to home libraries, classrooms, and school collections.
